                    Replaces this B-Spline surface by interpolating a set of points.
                    The resulting surface is of degree 3 and continuity C2.
                    Arguments:
                    a 2 dimensional array of vectors, that the surface passes through
                    or
                    a 2 dimensional array of floats with the z values,
                    the x starting point X0 (float),
                    the x increment dX (float),
                    the y starting point Y0 and increment dY
